Family Rise: Beginning with Grandfather.

Chapter 751 Immortal Cultivation Techniques
Yang Zhengshan was speechless with frustration. He was being mocked by a beast. He was so damn annoyed.

However, his attention was soon drawn to something on the ground.

There were many things on the ground, a huge mess.

There were spirit fruits, spirit medicines, weapons such as swords and spears, and even several storage bags!
When threats failed, they resorted to bribery?

Yang Zhengshan raised an eyebrow and a smile appeared on his lips.

These spiritual fruits and medicines seem to be quite good; they are all rare treasures.

The other items were also spiritual weapons, presumably left behind by those who entered the ruins.

Over the centuries, at least eight or ten thousand people have died here, leaving behind a considerable amount of artifacts.

Yang Zhengshan looked at the messy things and reached out to put them all into the Spirit Source Land.

"I'll take the things, but you have to let me in first before I take you out!"

There's no reason not to accept something that's offered to you.

These things are all very valuable, especially the spiritual fruits and herbs, which can all be planted in the spiritual source land. Yang Zhengshan naturally wouldn't mind having too many.

The wolf king revealed its sharp claws and ferocious appearance.

Yang Zhengshan was no longer afraid of it and laughed, "I have to go in!"

The wolf king's wisdom can no longer be viewed through the lens of how one would treat a wild beast.

Any living being, once it possesses intelligence, will weigh the pros and cons.

As long as it can weigh the pros and cons, it can't do anything to Yang Zhengshan, because only Yang Zhengshan can take it out of here.

No one else has the ability, nor would they believe it. As for forcing their way through the gap in the ancient formation, that's even more impossible!

There are three martial gods and two divine beasts there!

Once it emerges, it will inevitably end up as someone's meal.

As for whether it can be tamed.

This is actually a misconception, because it is not a wild animal; it has the same intelligence as humans. You cannot tame it like you would a wild animal; instead, you must communicate with it like you would with humans.

Therefore, there is no such thing as untamed wildness.

The three sects and twelve families of the Lingxiu Sea all raise exotic beasts.

They do have some means of controlling the alien beasts, but those means are only the last line of defense. Their real method of controlling the alien beasts is through emotion.

That's right, it's about feelings.

Nurturing them from a young age and growing together fosters a bond between humans and mythical beasts, a bond more reliable than any other method.

And the strange beasts aren't stupid either.

If a group of people were willing to give you plenty of food, comfortable shelter, take care of everything for you, and even fight and play with you, would you kill them casually?

Beasts are wild, but they also have intelligence, so they can weigh the pros and cons and have emotions.

Sometimes, the bond between humans and mythical beasts is even more reliable than the bond between humans.

The complexity of the human heart far surpasses that of the beast!
Yang Zhengshan had no feelings for the wolf king, nor did he have the means to control it, but that didn't stop him from trying to build a relationship with it.

What if the wolf king takes a liking to him and is willing to follow him in the future?

This idea is a bit like playing with fire, but the benefits it brings are enormous.

Because the wolf king in front of us is not just a wolf, he also has a pack of wolves.

Once they are willing to settle down in the Spirit Source Land, the Spirit Source Land will have one more strange beast, and it will be a strange beast that surpasses the Crimson Cloud Horse and the Flying Slave Eagle.

These wolves are difficult to tame now, but their future pups will be.

Yang Zhengshan continued gesturing, indicating that he had to go in first before he could take it away.

The wolf king hesitated for a long time, then suddenly let out a howl towards the distant forest. In an instant, bluish-white wind blades shot out from its mouth, slicing the distant trees into pieces.

Yang Zhengshan stared in astonishment at the scene, his lips twitching slightly.

The threat is obvious!
However, the Wolf King left the entrance of the Transmission Hall.

This basically means if you dare break your promise, I'll beat you to a pulp!
Yang Zhengshan glanced at it, then slowly walked towards the Hall of Transmission of Skills. Just before stepping into the hall, he stopped and said solemnly, "When I come out, I will definitely take you away from here!"

This is the first step in building trust and the foundation for cultivating feelings.

Yang Zhengshan had no intention of breaking his promise.

The wolf king seemed to understand his meaning and stared at him without moving.

Yang Zhengshan nodded and then stepped into the Hall of Transmission.

After entering the main hall, Yang Zhengshan let out a long breath.

Although he appeared calm, his heart was actually pounding the whole time.

Now that he was inside the hall, he could finally relax.

The inside and outside of the Hall of Transmission of Skills are completely different. Outside, there is an undeniable desolation and ruin, but inside, it is spotless and without the slightest mess.

Even though countless outsiders have visited this place, the main hall remains remarkably tidy.

Passing through the three-tiered, vermilion-lacquered gate, the mountainside suddenly opens up. Ancient stalactites hang from the natural dome, each tip inlaid with a luminous pearl, their soft light illuminating nine man-made grooves carved into the mountainside. These grooves are arranged in a nine-square grid, their dark golden runes flickering with the rhythm of breathing, ancient incantations appearing and disappearing in the light and shadow.

The ground is paved with translucent stone, the stone patterns connected to the mountain's veins, and one can feel faint fluctuations of spiritual energy when stepping on it.

This must have been transformed from a natural cave. It looks extremely spacious and doesn't have any cold or gloomy atmosphere at all. Instead, it's filled with a warm and pleasant ambiance.

There were no rows of bookshelves, nor any trace of cultivation techniques. Only stalactites hung down, and faint rune arrays were visible on the ground.

Embedded in the rock wall deep inside the mountain are nine black iron tablets, each engraved with ancient runes that are incomprehensible to people, which are still clearly visible even after the erosion of time.

Yang Zhengshan stepped forward and looked at the nine black iron tablets, but he found nothing; he didn't recognize any of the symbols on the tablets.

As for how to obtain the cultivation technique here, Lan Peng had told him.

In front of the Xuan Tie Stele is a stone platform, and on the platform is a stone table.

Yang Zhengshan stepped forward, placed his palm on the stone table, and simultaneously circulated his internal energy, channeling his true essence into the stone table.

next moment.

Streaks of light appeared on the stone table, flashing and shimmering. The stalactites above also lit up with a faint halo. In an instant, the entire formation seemed to start operating.

Yang Zhengshan narrowed his eyes slightly, continuing to channel his true energy while waiting quietly.

After a few breaths, three beams of light appeared between the black iron tablets in front of them and slowly landed on the stone table.

Three kinds!

Yang Zhengshan's eyes brightened slightly.

According to Lan Peng's description, most people who come here can only obtain one type of cultivation technique, those who are lucky can obtain two, and as for three, they are extremely rare.

And he actually got three of them.

However, he paused for a moment after seeing the three items in front of him.

There were two bamboo slips-like objects, and a piece of milky-white jade, about the size of a thumb. "What are these?"

He picked up the jade and examined it closely. It seemed to have many runes engraved on it, but they were not very clear.

Lan Peng had never mentioned this to him.

He thought about it and felt that this thing must be a treasure, but now was not the time to study it, so he put it away for the time being.

Then he opened the bamboo slips next to him.

The Longevity Sutra of Green Wood

Yang Zhengshan looked at the contents and was first stunned, then his face lit up with a look of great joy.

Green Wood Longevity Technique!
The Longevity Sutra of Green Wood!
As you can tell from their names, these two things are closely related.

"This is actually a cultivation technique!"

"Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, Golden Core!"

Looking at the Green Wood Longevity Scripture in his hand, Yang Zhengshan suddenly had many insights. Many things that he couldn't understand before became clear at this moment.

According to Lan Peng, about ten thousand years ago, the Immortal Path began to decline, while the Martial Path began to flourish. As for why the Immortal Path declined and why the Martial Path flourished, Lan Peng was not very clear.

But Lan Peng is right, martial arts evolved from immortality.

In terms of realm, the Innate Realm of martial arts is actually the Qi Refining Stage of immortality. The so-called Qi Induction Method is nothing more than a Qi Refining Technique.

The Martial God Realm in martial arts is equivalent to the Foundation Establishment stage in immortality. The so-called condensation of the golden body and Foundation Establishment have many similarities.

However, there are many differences between the two. The division of martial arts realms is simpler, and the method of condensing the golden body is more ingenious, using external objects to condense the golden body.

In comparison, the foundation building process in the Immortal Path is more difficult and dangerous.

That's right, it's more dangerous.

In Yang Zhengshan's view, condensing a golden body was already very dangerous, but building a foundation for immortality was even more dangerous; a slight mistake could lead to death and the dissipation of one's cultivation.

In addition, the path of immortality consumes more resources, is slower to cultivate, and places great emphasis on the cultivator's talent.

Of course, the path of immortality also has its advantages. Immortal cultivators have longer lifespans, more profound techniques, and abilities that far surpass those of martial arts cultivators.

The Green Wood Longevity Technique that Yang Zhengshan cultivates is clearly derived from this Green Wood Longevity Scripture.

In comparison, the Green Wood Longevity Technique is easier to cultivate, while the Green Wood Longevity Scripture is more wondrous.

After comparing the two cultivation methods one by one, Yang Zhengshan roughly understood the reason for the decline of the immortal path.

Firstly, because the path of immortality values ​​aptitude; only those with spiritual apertures can cultivate the techniques of the path of immortality.

Secondly, the Dao of Immortality emphasizes comprehension and the ability to perceive the universe. The higher one's cultivation level, the higher the requirements for comprehension.

Thirdly, the cultivation of immortality requires more resources. Yang Zhengshan had always felt that the martial arts cultivation in the Lingxiu Sea relied too much on resources, but after reading the "Qingmu Longevity Scripture", he realized that the cultivation of immortality required even more resources.

After reading the "Qingmu Longevity Scripture", Yang Zhengshan let out a long breath.

Immortal Path has many flaws, but it has one advantage that makes it hard for Yang Zhengshan to refuse.

That is immortality for ten thousand years!
The lifespan of a Qi Refining stage cultivator is no different from that of an ordinary person, but a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator has a lifespan of three hundred years, the same as a Martial God realm cultivator. However, upon reaching the Golden Core stage, one possesses a lifespan of three thousand years!

Martial Immortals only have a lifespan of five hundred years, and even those skilled in life-extending techniques will not live beyond eight hundred years.

As far as Yang Zhengshan knew, the longest-lived Martial Immortal in the Lingxiu Sea seemed to have only lived for over 730 years.

Three thousand versus eight hundred, that's a huge difference in lifespan.

Besides lifespan, the methods of immortals are also exceptionally mysterious, far beyond what martial artists can match.

This book, "The Longevity Scripture of Green Wood," contains dozens of immortal techniques, each of which is incredibly magical.

If it were anyone else, they would probably only be able to sigh in despair at this "Azure Wood Longevity Scripture," but Yang Zhengshan is different. Yang Zhengshan possesses the Spirit Source Land, which can provide him with countless inexhaustible resources to satisfy his cultivation of immortality.

Moreover, since the power transmission array here gave him this cultivation technique, it means that he possesses spiritual apertures.

Otherwise, the power transfer formation wouldn't have given him such an uncultivable technique.

Yang Zhengshan's heart was moved, pounding with excitement, an irrepressible flutter of emotion.

He held the "Green Wood Longevity Scripture" tightly for a long time before relaxing and storing it in the Spirit Source Land.

"We'll talk about it when we get back!" That was all he could say to suppress his excitement.

He then picked up another manual and began to read it.

"Qinghua Thunder Technique"

"Nurture thunder with wood, and prove the Way with thunder."

"Based on internal cultivation, manifested outwardly as the might of thunder."

"Taking liver qi as the foundation of cultivation, the liver belongs to wood, and its qi is green, which is the source of thunder's vitality. Breathing and guiding the qi purifies the liver qi, making it as pure as green qi, and then resonates with the wood element qi of heaven and earth."

"The green qi in the liver palace condenses into the 'Qinghua Thunder Pearl,' which connects to the Niwan point above and the Yongquan point below."

"I will unite my true energy with the creation of heaven and earth."

"By incorporating the Qinghua Thunder Pearl into the dantian and driving it with the primordial spirit, one can release the 'Yi Wood Divine Thunder,' which combines the vitality of wood with the ferocity of thunder. It can both dispel evil and cure diseases, and also promote the growth of all things."

"He also possesses supernatural powers!"

"Nine Heavens Wood Divine Thunder, condensing the Qi of the Nine Heavens Wood Element, transforms into a blue thunder pillar, specifically designed to destroy evil spirits and filth."

"The Azure Lightning Sword is a natal magic weapon infused with lightning energy. Its blade is wrapped in azure-purple lightning, allowing for remote sword control to slay demons and monsters."

Looking at the "Qinghua Thunder Technique," Yang Zhengshan's excitement, which had just subsided, surged again.

The "Qinghua Thunder Technique" is clearly meant to complement the "Qingmu Longevity Scripture," and the two can work together to achieve the same effect.

Moreover, it can satisfy Yang Zhengshan's long-cherished desire for the power of thunder.

"Alas, I simply cannot refuse such a technique!"

Yang Zhengshan completely succumbed; he could no longer resist and was determined to embark on the path of immortality.

After a long while, Yang Zhengshan finally suppressed his excitement and looked up at the Xuan Tie Stele on the opposite stone wall.

At this moment, he had an idea: to pry open the stone wall and see how many martial arts techniques were hidden inside.

However, he was only thinking about it. The magic array here was not without its destructive power. If he actually did it, there would only be one outcome: he would be blasted into dust by the magic array.

Of course, he also had another way to drain the cultivation techniques here.

Yang Zhengshan carefully put away the "Qinghua Thunder Technique," and with a thought, Yu Qingyi appeared beside him.

"This is an ancient formation!" Yu Qingyi looked around with great curiosity.

"Hmm, come on, put your hands on this, channel your inner energy into it, and see what kind of cultivation technique it can give you!" Yang Zhengshan said.

Without wasting words, Yu Qingyi stepped forward and placed her hand on the stone table as instructed.

The next moment, light shimmered, and two bamboo slips appeared on the stone table.
